Working with an Atlas

Terms and definitions Contents- the first pages of an atlas where you can find Thematic maps, Topographic maps, and the locations to climate, physical, and political information.

► Gazeteer- (Also known as a glossary). A geographical dictionary or directory, for information about locations, map page numbers, and place names. ► There are two types of glossary’s in the Atlas. One of Canadian locations and one of world locations. ► An example looks like this: Calgary 41 E2 51° 6' N 114° 1' W (place name) (pg #) (graphic location) (longitude and latitude) (place name) (pg #) (graphic location) (longitude and latitude)

► Thematic maps – a simple map made to reflect a particular theme about a geographic area. IE: Physical, economic, manufacturing, agricultural etc. ► Thematic maps are data driven. Ie: Amount of rainfall, thunderstorms, doctors per capita.

► Topographic maps – is a type of map characterized by large-scale detail and shows land formations using contour lines and different colours. *Traditionally topographic maps show both natural and man-made features.

Longitude and Latitude

Prime Meridian, Tropic of Cancer, Tropic of Capricorn ► Prime Meridian-is the meridian at which longitude is defined to be 0°. ► Equator – the meridian at which latitude is defined to be 0°.

► Latitude- To find latitude, find the equator. Determine if the city is North or South of the Equator. ► Longitude- Find the Prime Meridian. Determine if the city is East or West of the Prime Meridian.

► As a class practice questions: ► Is Ottawa North or South of the Equator? ► Is Australia North or South of the Equator? ► Is Moscow, Russia East or West of the Prime Meridian? ► Is Brazil East or West of the Prime Meridian? ► Explain where Edmonton is located. ► Explain where Tokyo, Japan is located.

► Tropic of Cancer- the northernmost latitude at which the sun can appear directly overhead at noon. - Located at 23.5°N ► Tropic of Capricorn- the most southerly latitude at which the sun can appear directly overhead at noon. – Located at 23.5°S

Graphic Locations ► Graphic locations are like playing battleship! ► Look at the world political map on the inside cover. Look at the letters across the top and the numbers at the sides. These are you battleship graphic locations. ► LONGITUDE will be shown through letters. ► LATITUDE will be shown through numbers. ► Example: Calgary, Alberta – Page 41 is located at E2.

PRACITCE- World Map page ► Find the graphic location of: ► Canberra, Australia __________ ► Moscow, Russia ____________ ► Ottawa, Canada ____________ ► Peru, Lima _____________ ► South Georgia, UK (East of Argentina) _________ _________ ► Tokyo, Japan ____________ ► Colombo, Sri Lanka ____________
